Jeg har før skrevet et indlæg om New Yorkeren Kirby Ferguson, og hans filmprojekt om Remixing. Hans kortfilm er super inspirerende og altid ventetiden værd. Du kan se de første 2 afsnit her i indlægget “Architecture is a Remix”.

PS. Filmen slutter ikke efter 6 min…vent til efter rulleteksterne.

Plan Of The City er ikke en musikvideo, men en kortfilm på 13 minutter, som handler om hvordan New Yorks bygninger letter fra Jorden og genetablere sig på Mars! Dono why?

Do yourself a favor and watch this video right now. It’s filled to the brim with absolutely breathtaking shots — so many that I can’t believe they were taken all by the same team. The Planet Earth folks need to hire this guy RIGHT away. Honestly I’m speechless. This is an amazing piece of film. An amazing piece of art. Congratulations to Mickey Smith and Allan Wilson for making such a brilliant piece. And all for Relentless Energy — who knew.

There I was, minding my own business watching Sunday morning football, when these sexy pieces of design snuck up on me. Typically my brain turns off at the first sight of a car commercial, but this 2010 spot for the BMW 3 Series is a breath of fresh air. It’s great to see a company going back to their roots. Interspersed with the requisite this-is-a-car-commercial-and-we-are-driving-on-a-closed-road-that-doesn’t-exist type shots, there is some really terrific graphic design. Watch it on the BMW homepage for the highest quality version I could find (header image 2 of 5).

It’s not the first time BMW has ... (Read more...)

SketchUp 8 - [stadig] gratis download

Så kom der endnu en ny version af SketchUp-tur. Det er et lille program, så det er også de små nyheder de kommer med, som den garvede 3D bruger har sukket efter. Fx. de typiske boolean værktøjer [union, intersect, subtract mf.]. Men det kommer nu i kølvandet på deres introduktion af ‘solids’… men dog kun i Pro versione. Kun ‘outer-shell’ funktionen er med i standard programmet. Version 8 fortsætter med at udvikle værktøjer rettet primært mod arkitekter [og andre der tænder på bygninger], med forbedringer ift. Photo Match Modeling. Og nu de allerede har ... (Read more...)

TED er BIGs nyeste bud på en offentlig bygning midt i Taiwan – mixed program selvfølgelig. Alt-i-alt er det lokal gadekomposition stablet til et volume, med et åbent ‘gadeforløb’ der giver offentlig adgang til tagpladsen og samtidig hjælper til med ventilation og skygge.  Man behøver vist ikke sige mere om projektet – filmen taler for sig selv.

TED3 contains an almost urban mix of programs with no obvious hierarchy. We propose to organize the shops and showrooms, offices and hotel rooms, conference rooms and exhibition spaces, restaurants and galleries along an internal extension of the pedestrian street to the south. ... (Read more...)

It always seems that when something great goes away, we don’t realize how great it actually was until its nearly gone. Film is that thing. Although I wouldn’t say film is gone, it certainly has been on its way out. I know I’ve personally taken it for granted, but when I see cameras like this or the return of the Polaroid, it makes me want to experiment.

This camera by Steven Monteau is called the Guillotine / Adidas Camera and was intended for use shooting ultra-wide action sequences on 120 film. The effect that the three images as one create ... (Read more...)
